OUR THOUGHTS.

Kulinder Singh — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:30:38 +0000

Every thought produces a strong vibration in every cell of our body, and leaves a deep impression on our sub-conscious mind. Impressions from the depth of the subconscious mind come up in the form of thought-vibrations or mental images, and direct our actions accordingly. Therefore,

we are the makers of our own habits, circumstances, character and fate. These thought-vibrations are transmuted to every fibre and nerve of our physical body, and cause electrical, chemical and biological changes, affecting our physical and mental condition. Every good and sublime thought conjures a noble spirit and initiates good action, contributing to our health and happiness. This also has an invigorating effect in improving our physical and mental condition, even during moments of depression and exhaustion.

THE LAST WORD.(guru gobind singh ji)

Kulinder Singh — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 15:19:02 +0000

The following words were addressed by Guru Gobind Singh to the Sikhs at Nander on the day of his departure from this planet:
Wherefore always abide in cheerfulness and never give way to mourning. God is ever the same. He is neither young nor old. He is not born, nor does He die. He deals neither in pain nor poverty. Know that the true Guru abides as He. His creatures that are steeped in bodily pride are very unhappy, and night and day subject to love and hate. Ever entangled and involved in the deadly sins, they perish by mutual enmity and at last find their abode in hell. Yet for the love of such creatures, the Guru assumes birth to deliver them. He has instructed them in the true Name and very fortunate are they who have received and treasured His instruction, By it, they are enabled to save themselves and others from the perils of worlds ocean. And, when after drought, rain falls and there is abundance, the Guru seeing human beings suffering and yearning for happiness, comes to bestow it on them and remove their sorrows by his teachings. And as the rain remains where it falls, so the Gurus instruction ever abides with His disciples.

‘The Sikhs who love the true Guru are in turn loved by Him.’

‘O Khalsa! Remember the true Name. The Guru has arrayed you in arms to procure you the sovereignty of the earth. Those who have died in battle have gone to an abode of bliss. I have attached you to the skirt of the Immortal God and entrusted you to Him. Read the Granth Sahib or listen to it, so shall your minds receive consolation and shall undoubtedly obtain an abode in the Guru’s heaven. They who remember the true Name render their lives profitable, and when they depart enter the mansions of eternal happiness.

‘I have entrusted you to the Immortal God. Ever remain under His protection and trust none besides. Wherever there are five Sikhs assembled who abide by the Guru’s teachings, know, that I am in the midst of them. He who serves them shall obtain the reward there of the fulfillment of all his heart’s desires.

‘Read the history of your Gurus from the time of Guru Nanak.’

‘Henceforth, the Guru shall be the Khalsa and Khalsa the Guru. I have infused my mental bodily spirit into the Granth Sahib and the Khalsa’.

He then put on a muslin waist-band, hung his on his bow on his shoulder and took his musket in his hand. He opened the Granth Sahib and placing a coconut before it, solemnly bowed to it as his successor. Then uttering Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahl Guru JI Ki Fateh he circumambulated the sacred volume and said, O Beloved Khalsa ! Let him who desires to behold me, behold the Granth Sahib, and obey the Granth Sahib. It is the visible body of the Guru. And let him, who desires to meet me, diligently search its hymns. And lastly, keep my kitchen ever open and receive offerings for its maintenance.

THE JOY OF UNION IS SOUNDLESS.

Kulinder Singh — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:38:13 +0000

THE JOY OF UNION IS SOUNDLESS I wonder why people make so much noise in calling upon God. Their beating of drums looks an empty sounding of little pebbles in a tin can. I again give you an illustration from life. The lover of a mere woman shuts all doors, extinguishes all lights, draws down curtains, and behind and veils meets his beloved. He is jealous of that rich joy. These hymn singers go singing all their life and sending up their muezzin-cries in the empty air. Surely God is no reality to such as these. For, if the sweetness of a woman takes a man to the pure silence of the soul, how much intenser must be the killing situation of the union of God?

“MEETING HIM”

Kulinder Singh — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:57:02 +0000

Have you seen the great Himalayas that shine within you? Over its golden peaks, make your huts and live there. The vision precipitated in you of the Himalayas is the token that he is on his visit to you this hour. Whenever you feel these supreme heights in you this sublimity of joy rest assured, you are meeting him. Soul to soul it is not poetic fancy but a real meeting.

INVISIBLE ROBBERS

Kulinder Singh — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:16:33 +0000

When religion gets low in us we feel within ourselves an inclination towards the lower thoughts (of love for material gains and passion towards lower tastes.)
In some cases the fall is also a necessity of the reaction of complex emotion you cannot tell. And those supports in their turn are living and they lift up the fallen on their giant shoulders, till the heights are regained, religion, in this aspect of rise and fall in self-consciousness is also beautiful, though I admit that those who have scaled beyond the snow line can never fall back, but the initiates do, and for them SIMRAN-SADH SANGAT provides an infinite elasticity of physical supports to rise.
all human relations and society are physical supports if the initiates take care of not loosing the vital fluid of heaven that comes flowing in to them by the love of the great ones ,then the path surely lies through one continuous ascent But the invisible robbers rob it away ,and the novice lies exhausted ,when ,instead of looking up to the givers ,(being physically still an animal )he gropes for that exquisite ambrosia of life in the animal nature of his ,and by so doing gets still more exhausted and sinks further into it till he can find no way out .suddenly then the anger of gods rescues him ,and the gods pour the fluid again in to the empty cask of his body and fill it again .again the vision bursts upon him ,thus goes on the reaction of religion on man for centuries till he passes beyond the SNOW LINE and is for ever librated from the bondage of ANIMAL LIFE.

Blessed are they who even know this noble struggle ,for beyond it is LIBRATION .Saved are they ,for it is the gods saving them through an eternal warfare ,time is an illusion ,what appears as centuries to us is only a wink to gods .

LOVE

Kulinder Singh — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:44:06 +0000

Love is innocent labor to find our own share from the infinite beauty of gods. Exactly some times we get it without much effort and sometimes we stain oceans and get nothing. Love is not only labor but also fruit, we must turn our eyes upwards and see to the fruits, and I do feel that man reduced to the sorry dimensions of his, becomes dead and yet, every philosopher I met says that self-realization is the greatest love.

FREEDOM IN SELF REALIZATION

Kulinder Singh — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 07:58:00 +0000

FREEDOM IN SELF-REALIZATION
the religious feeling of this great intensity is as free subjectively as it is restrained in the physical sense. This restraint is not put on it; it is spontaneous. Wherever the flash of perfect beauty falls on the heart of man, its effect is as of lightning. This vision lifts the human consciousness from the physical plane where it receives the kiss of Beauty, into the salient regions of ecstasy to the pang of separation from it. The devotee of Beauty thus rises and falls into himself. Both the sorrow and joy of the true religious feeling are equally glorious; they react on each other to a still higher fulfillment. A Sikh peasant was noticed continuously to utter the Name of God- “Glory, Glory”-and they of the earth asked him why he repeated the same word to no purpose. “I am not quite well,” said he; “my skin smarts, it burns; I feel sharp needles piercing me all over, it is very painful. The air burns me; I perspire, I feel sick; I cry-no one can save me from this hell-fire. And brothers! the only cure for me is this ‘useless repetition’ of this pebble-like name ‘Wah Guru’, ‘Wah Guru’. The only cure for me is this repetition of ‘Glory’, ‘Glory’ that you think useless. My religion is this licking of saltless rocks.” With this utterance, I feel as if I am having a dip in the Himalayan Ganga.

INNATE RELIGION.

Kulinder Singh — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:03:13 +0000

To clear the mind of dogmatic theological debris, it is essential to attune it to the Divine Vision within, which alone can guide us through the worldly consciousness of the cosmos, to the Divine Consciousness.This is the only way to transcend the sordid (disgusting) world of the illusive Maya, and find refuge and solace in the Divine Realm. The only way of salvation or freedom from the sordid, cruel butchery of ‘Maya’, is to TURN BACK and take refuge in the True Universal Divine Religion.

This ‘turning back’ from the world of ‘Maya’ to the world of ‘Shabad’ or ‘Divine Grace’ is not a physical, intellectual or emotional process. It is essentially a process of transformation or transmutation of ‘consciousness’ on the ‘Intuitional’ plane. This transition of transformation of our thoughts, beliefs, faith and consciousness, from the illusive, materialistic world, to the Divine Realm, is the:

True,
The only ONE,
Original,
Living,
Vibrating,
Universal,
Ultimate, and
Eternal

Divine Religion.

In fact, it is the: Primal, Spontaneous, Simple, Natural, Innate Religion – inlaid and inherited by every soul.

OUR THOUGHTS.

Kulinder Singh — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:54:59 +0000

Pure thoughts are Divine forces which pervade human existence right from the birth. They radiate joy, hope, solace and peace to the entire humanity. Persistent thoughts of egoistic desire, selfishness, and covetousness breed, develop and nourish anger, hatred, jealousy, revenge and the like, which give rise to malicious tendencies leading to heinous actions. On the other hand, noble thoughts of love, compassion, kindness, etc. produce noble men and saints. Power of thoughts lies latent in us, and can be developed to make or mar our own life and destiny.

We are continuously attracting to ourselves forces and condition most akin to those of our own thoughts. Our particular thoughts within connect us with a similar thought from without. It is, therefore, important for us to recognize as to how we live in our thought-world.

BODHISATTVA

Kulinder Singh — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:11:00 +0000

Silence seals the lips of the Disciple. He had found happiness in himself; nothing else maters. His life is consecration to the Beloved; unquestioning obedience to His Will, waiting for the best wisdom to ripen when it ripens. The Disciple’s heart is a sharp that shivers with music of being, touched by His winds, His waters. His Light, His Flowers, His Beauty in Creation and its variety of Color. Day and night, the disciple suffers from the illness of love, aching for what it knows not. Pain has lost for him its anguish and pleasure its excitement; calm like Bodhisattva but excited like a new blown flower swimming in the light-floods of the dawn. Humanity is in giving away, and the disciple is he who gives himself away. Life is identified with distribution and death with conservation. The disciple recks not, so abundant is the gift of the Giver-genius to him. He distributes His ripened life and love and labor unconditionally to man, bird and beast. He is the symbol of God. He represents God and so must be God like, feeding all, giving light to all, sustaining life, illumining the breath of man with the inspiration of Nam.
